Dude, the Benton's maple creme sandwich cookies... Omg

Aldi has quite a few house brands that are fantastic and (relatively) cheap.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity in a timely manner. Though I was kinda hoping for an "OP delivers" moment 😂

That trunk looks thiccccccc. Got any upskirt pics?

(If this joke is in bad taste and poorly received, I blame day drinking 🍻)

¿Por que no los dos?

Seriously, crimes require motive and opportunity. Clearly a prevalence of guns provide the opportunity murderers prefer, so why should we wholesale disregard that as a way to reduce mass violence when guns are the preferred vehicle?

To be clear, I empathize with the argument that mental health issues are also a factor, but that argument seems to be brought up exclusively as a reaction to gun control, and never with any serious follow through. So until the pro-gun crowd starts proposing some actual solutions that aren't simply blame games rooted in vague racism (fatherless families blah blah blah) or christofascism (put Jesus back in our schools) I can't take them seriously. If universal mental health care, dismantling of systematic racism, etc were issues supported by the pro-gun bloc, then it would be a different story.

Bombings aren't as common as school shootings because most school shooters don't want to kill that indiscriminately.

I'm gonna need a source on that one. The entire MO of these mass shootings (and indeed bombings) has been to cause as much death and injury as possible in a short timeframe, and the only targeting I've seen is toward the general building, such as a school or nightclub.

It's always the same playbook... Put out a trash argument, and then try to pivot to the next talking point when you get called out.

I'm interested in discussing the actual argument you made, not an imaginary one you're making for me.

School bombings and mass stabbings are simply an infinitesimal problem compared to shootings. Surely there's a reason for that, and the most obvious one is that there is some impediment to committing murder in those ways that is smaller than using a gun.

I'm sorry, but "there's no point in trying to solve the main problem, because if we did, we'd just resort to trying to solve the lesser problems next" really isn't a good argument. It's the entire point of progress!

What's stopping mass stabbings and school bombings from occurring now? If they as effective or achievable as shooting people, presumably murderers would be using those options on par with shootings. If they are more difficult or less effective, then it seems like we should prefer the lesser evil, no?

Trust me bro

Because it's a little TOO easy.

Your body and brain know you didn't put any effort into it, not because you were in a rush, but just because you couldn't be arsed to. So it punishes you by making you hyper aware that you're consuming the uncanny valley of food. It's not NOT food, but it's not FOOD.

To be clear, I'm just using "you" generically. Absolutely no judgement here lol

I'm truly sorry to hear that. I know it's a little cliche, but don't forget to take care of yourself so that you can take care of her, and sometimes just being there is enough.

Sounds like he made a difficult, selfless choice to protect his daughter and granddaughter. Sharing his story is a great way to honor him, so thanks for that.

It's literally not what you said, but you're clearly not out here in good faith, so enjoy the shit flinging.

Nice dodge there.

Kinda like how you singularly invented the rhetoric that it's useless to discuss gun control because it wouldn't solve 100.00% of possible killings?

You know that nobody has ever claimed it's the only way a nutjob would kill people

But for whatever reason, it's vastly more common to murder.people with a gun than with a truck or fertilizer bomb.

Coincidentally trucks are licensed, registered, and highly regulated. And while I'm sure you can get around it, the sale of ingredients that can be used in bombs are generally tracked/regulated as well.

🥃 to your friend's mom

Stay strong friend. You got through today and you can get through tomorrow too 🍻

Sorry to hear that... I hope you're doing okay.

Is anyone scraping LinkedIn's data to compile and shame pro-Israeli / anti-Palestinian sentiments and thereby creating a need to censor "both sides"?

It's an honest question because I don't know. But being pro-Israel is certainly the default majority/establishment stance right now, with pro-Palestine a vocal minority (at least in the West), so directly comparing them ignores the relevant nuances.

On a scale from "a lot" to "all of them", how many marijuanas did you inject before you typed this out? 😂

"Nobody better touch my stuff..."

Good luck OP, I certainly hope your username is NOT relevant in this case.
